That was his explanation. I thought it was quite interesting. It is. I don’t like it. Would you like it if it works?

Would you like it if it works? No. It just says Mings shouldn't be playing. It's a bullshit excuse.

I don't think Ben White would need anything but the usual. Yeah you need a dm to help your back 4, that's ordinary. Playing 2 I have an issue. Playing a full back to protect your CB screams a bullshit decision to me. Screams you shouldn't be taking the centre half that needs protecting. Nevermind playing the fucker.

He would have done the same with White playing. It's not a great state of affairs but it was a smart decision. Mings had a good game, in fact the while defence did (at defending anyway Walker was rubbish going forward). Given the likely nature of the next game no problem if he does the same again Chilwell or Shaw in for the Czech game.

He's just an overly cautious dour manager.

Don't get this supposed 'why are we playing two DMs, one is enough' criticism, Phillips was clearly playing as a box to box midfielder NOT as a sitter. Any stick to beat the manager with, l guess.

First game I remember us playing v Scotland was 1975 when we won 5-1. We lost the next two. Beating them at Hampden in 78.was ace. They were going the World Cup without us and had battered us. Then Steve Coppell snatched a late winner. 😂😂

I’ve had a free £5 bet from Denise and put it on a 0-0.
Can see the Scots frustrating us.

Not sure of ticketing ..believe you could buy blocks by venue .. believe Portugal actually based themselves in Wilmslow .. the Germans in Ashbourne , Brazil in Lymm , indeed most stayed away from the cities Italy stayed in a convent I think I read. Just seen this - the German team stayed at the Peveril of the Peak near Thorpe - there are loads of pictures of them wandering round Ashbourne Market Place and training on Ashbourne Rec!

Will be a tough game. They will be fired up for this game more than any other. If they win, they will expect to be named world champions. FREEDOM

Apparently kept in touch with many locals after . I remember one lady saying how she had a soft spot for them and wanted them to win but kept to herself. The FAI put Ireland up in a Travelodge in Florida while they stayed at a 5 star resort. Was a fantastic doc on C4 think it was of Scotland in Argentina. Maybe is on You Tube. Fantastic watch, mainly re fans trying to get there on a budget . The Scottish hotel, coach etc hard to believe. The planning was awful. Didn't even send anyone ahead to check facilities.

It’s the Jock’s World Cup final isn’t it. They’ll be covered in face paint screaming for freedom and will leave nothing on the pitch. The question is whether the England flowers will be up for it. Can’t see it being a classic, but it will have atmosphere. I reckon a draw or narrow England win, but wouldn’t rule out a shock defeat.

Yes remember watching it - had a look for it and it might be this BBC one? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b4fx2q/scotland-78-a-love-storyAll sorts of madness - a butcher sells his business to go to Argentina, a village hand digs a trench across a mountain to get cable TV - all to watch Ally's lads lift the World Cup. What could possibly go wrong?

Favourite quote, when he was asked if he'd done any research into Peru or Iran, he looks at the camera like he's suddenly realised that that might have been not such a bad idea, and then says, "I've decided I'm going to lift the World Cup by making my own team as perfect as possible."

Seems to remember that Cubillas was rumoured to be their best player and no one had any knowledge outside of Panini albums unless a player was a bit special.

Just watching John McGinn comparing Scotland's population with that of England. He's right of course but l can't quite imagine Ronaldo making the same comparison between the size of his country (10 million) were they up against Turkey (84 million).

See the logic but just needs a handful of players. The Netherlands only has a population just over 17 million and have constantly produced great players.
